Miscellany (Thursday)

[tamaranth]

Am using LochJournal, in the hope of being able to post to multiple accounts without tedious 'log in' lottery. I was hoping it would also let me compose posts offline and load them when I connected, but apparently not though I have not done the RTFM thing).

In other 'technology is crap' luddism, how do I get Kazaa to search for tracks by X (LA punk band) given that X marks the spot where people who don't know or can't type the artist name just type, er, 'X'?

EDIT: And what, pray tell, is the use of autodetecting my music when it then truncates the name (and a right-trim, too)? Sorry, that should read Anders Hagberg (Norwegian ethno-trance, and utterly splendid)

X seem to be undergoing a bit of a renaissance over here, cited as influences -- along with P J Harvey, Patti Smith etc etc -- on various new punk(ish) outfits: one article mentioned Fifties, rather than Sixties, undertones to their music, which intrigues me ... Have resisted listening simply on the basis of lead singer's shapely ankles, as photographed by her ex-husband :)
